fair consideration of their principles.
But the George party whose principal
claim for recognition is that ''all the
lands acquired by honest purchase or
inheritance. belong to the public and
that the real owner has no individual
rights, is a doctrine that savors too
much Of communism and is too redi

We notice that the docket OF the
Supreme Court already heavy. is
growing larger daily. The work is
now too much Tor three Judges. Ap.
peals are taken in almost every case
ofimportance, giving additional work
to the judges. 1t will bea good thing
tor the people to vote next tall tor the
amendment increasing the number Of
Supreme Court Judges to five.
Fayetteville Observer.
We have no objection whatever, to
increasing the number Of Supreme
Judges from three to five, but if the
Legislature would restore the old fee
bill, there would not be- halt OF ap-
peala going to the Supreme Court: A
large proportion of the oases that now
60 mp is as mnch for time ss anything
else. and this is made so because an
appellant eau 60 to the Supreme
Court at o cost of about 1925. Re
store the old fee bill and the Courl

About 1,SO0 iusolvents returned by

une-fourth of the poll tax goes to the

It right, is it fair, TO tax the property

Winning Ticket.

We repeat. that the winning ticket
in North Carolina at the next election,
is Thomas j. Jarvis for Governor and
Julin : Carr for Lieut.. Governor
We confess, (at least one Of us do,)
that heretofore we have never been
much big beaded about Jarvis. bnt
upon careful and honest review Of
his administration AS Governor Of
North Carolina. cander compells usso
say, and we say it cheertully, that Mr..
Jarvis made t.s the best. wisest and
most successful Governor North Caro-
lima ever had.
II is not because Mr. Carr is a Phi
lanthiopist and possesses big heart
that we wish him to be placed on the
ticket as Lieut.. Governor, but because
he is typical North Carolinian and
possesses, TO large degree those ad-
vanced ideas of progrsss that when
wisely and judicionsly applied cannot
fail to place his State in the front rank
where God and nature intended her.
By the mysterious ways Of Providence
he may be Governor. A man VIII"
has managed his own gteat business
with such wonderful success, can be
safely trusted to manage the affairs oi
the State. -

AN INNOCENT MAN IN PRISON
Singular Case in Which Circum-
stantial Evidence Led a Jury

SCdutidl LVtuenCe Leu Jury
Astray.
There is case recorded by the Ma
tional Gazette of Berlin which will go
far to shake public confidence in cir
cumstantial evidence. Four years ago
Elberfelle, the wife of Albert Fiethein,
was discovered murdered. Robbery
was not the object of the crime. Some
5000 marks were left undisturbed. The
husband was absent, or at least it so APP
peared. He and his wife did not live
together happily on account of a
difference of religion. His wife was
Catholic and he was a Protestant
and kept mistress at Cologne.
On account of his double life and
the difference between himself and his
wife the jury found that he was the
only person who could have committed
the crime. A farm boy had testified
that he had seen the husband of the
wife strike her five times on the head.
FIethein was sentenced to death, but the
emperor committed his sentence to hard
labor for life. Fiethein's father did
not believe i'll his guilt, and he has
worked four years to discover the real
murderer, and has finally succeeded.
The murderer was farm boy in a fit Of
drunkenness. He confessed, and upon
subsequent arrest by the police he con-
tirmed his confession. He had first
made advances to Fiethein's wife. She
had threatened him with her husbands
rod, and to escape this he killed her be-
fore he was aware of what he was
doing. The innocent Fiethein will at
once be released.

PROBABLE SUICIDE.
A Story of the Dead Man Found
in the River at HaStin0s

in the River at Hastings.
The floater picked up in the river at
Hastings Wednesday morning has been
positively identified as the body of a
young man who lived in st. Paul the
past winter under the assumed name
of j. p. Orchi. On his person
were found two letters adj
dressed to him under this name, one to
Minneapolis and the other to No. Is
East Seventh street, st. Paul. The pO-
ce authorities of st. Paul were notified
yesterday morning, and inquiry at the
Shades saloon, kept by Ben B. Stau-
denmyer, No. Is East Seventh street,
developed a few facts concerning
the young man which indi-
cate that he committed suicide.
j. B. Gallagher, who had known him
for seven years, stated that his real
name was not Orchi but Williamsberger,
and that his father, Anthony Williams
merchant at Memphis, Tenn, where
block. Young Williamsberger fell
desperately in love with a
mil liner named Ida Love, in Memphis
and this attachment is said to have,
brought about trouble with his family,
resulting in the young man leaving
home some time ago. Williamsberger
lead a wandering life, working at vari-
GUS jobs to earn living. He shipped
first as pastry cook Oh a river
steamer and followed the Missouri river
to Bismarck, OAK, where he remained
for some time, coming to st. Paul early
last winter, In St. Paul he was. in very
desperate circumstances, and; was IN
duced to face Danny Needham with
gloves at the Olympic theater
few months ago. In this
fight he went under the name
of Archie Leonard, and was finished by
Needham in the third round, it being
evident that he had never been in the
ring before. He afterward secured a
position as agent of a baking powder
company, and last Monday morning
borrowed g of Mr.. Staudenmyer
to pay his fare to Hastings, where he
proposed canyassing for his article.
While in st. Paul he made his head
quarters at the Shades saloon, receiving
all his mail there. His friends say that
he was often Respondent because he did
not receive letter from his sweetheart
in Memphis. The letter which he
had evidently been looking for so long
arrived Tuesday. 1t was addressed in
woman's hand to J. P. Orchi, Is East
Seventh street. and OIL the edge of the
envelope was written: ''If not called
for in ten days return to Ida Love, 120
Poplar street, Memphis" Another let
ter, which arrived yesterday at the
Shades saloon, bears the same address
in mans handwriting.

AS Good as Canada.

A hearing was had before Assistant
Attorney General Childs yesterday
afternoon upon the requisitiOn from
Illinois for the persons of f. w. Will
son and G. Bonneville, who are charged
by an Illinois book establishment with
obtaining money under false pretepses.
These gentlemen were only recently
arrested in this city. County Attorney
Egan appeared as prosecutor and Mr..
Ryan. of Erwin 81 Ryan, as counsel for
the defense. In the opinion of Mr..
ChildS the warrant can not be granted,
as the requisition papers are defective.
The warrant of arrest was stated to-
have been issued by a Justice of the
peace, but there was no certificate ac-
itOmpanying to show that said justice
sWas a justice of the peace. Evidence
also was not satisfactory. 1t was found
necessary to refuse the requisitiOn on
these grounds, which may necessitate
the making out. of new requisition
papers.

Every applicant takes his turn. A mas

an engaging smile and a gOOd-natured
gesture of the hand, which seems to say ::
''There is no ceremony here. Tell
me your business, and if l can

peror of Austria has penetrating eye
and quick, catching manner. By a
glance he makes people feel at home,
and by word he draws from them what
they have to say. Then he gives his
own answer, straight out and fearlessly,
but generally with an acquieScing
smile. and whatever he promises is
faithfully performed. There is nothing
petty or evasive in him. He is mon
arch who replies by Eyes" OF NO"
but always with so much courtesy that
the humblest of his subjects receives
from him at departing the same bow as
he vouchSafeS to ambassadors. A most
lovable trait in him is that whenever he
sees anybody nervous at his presence he
makes the audience last until, by his
kind endeavOrS, the nervousness has
been completely dispelled.
This sufficiently explains his maieS-
tvs extraordinary personal popularity
so great that it forms most solid bond
of union between races which, but fol
